Abstract:
Cardio vascular nursing is a branch of Medical surgical
Nursing in which a specialized registered nurse will
provide care to patients suffering from various cardiovascular
conditions such as a spectrum of coronary artery diseases
(Angina, Myocardial Infarction, Cardiac dysrhythmias,
Ichemic heart disease), Cardiomyopathy, Rheumatic
heart disease, Heart failure, Hypertension, Congential
heart disease, peripheral arterial and Venous disorders in
collaboration with Cardiologist. The scope of this branch is
extended to clinical practice at CCU, ICU, CTICU, Thoracic
recovery rooms, Cardiac catheterization, peripheral vascular
catheterization, OT, cardiac Rehabilitation centers, cardiac
medical and Surgical Wards, cardiovascular ICU’s. These
Nurses need to be competent in Hemodynamic monitoring,
cardiac remodeling, vascular and cardiac monitoring,
cardiac, respiratory and vascular Assessments, Stress test
evaluation, Post-operative care in surgical units, Medication
administration by continuous intravenous drip and infusions,
ventilatory care, ECG rhythm analysis. All cardiovascular
nurses must have BLS, ACLS and Cardiac rehabilitation
certification. Most cardiovascular clinical nurse specialists
(CNSs) work in healing facilities. They look after fundamentally
sick patients, and in addition, those recouping from
cardiovascular strategies, for example, sidestep angioplasty,
or pacemaker medical procedure. They even enable patients
to recoup at home and provide care for baby boomers too.
In addition to expert knowledge, cardiovascular nurses need
to evaluate and implement evidence based practice with
in culturally appropriate frame works. developing clinical
research and cultural competencies and engaging in policy
sphere which are crucial for improving CVD Outcomes.
Cardio vascular disease is a major contributor to global
morbidity and Mortality; It is extremely costly and places
a significant burden on individuals and communities.
Cardiovascular nurses play akey role in combating the
increasing burden of CVD, which is similar to their chronic
